Let's take our car that goes 'vroom vroom' to watch this Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical, coming to Singapore end of this year.
I might want to go for it, will ask hubby if he wants / or keen to go with me.
Synopsis :
After saving Chitty Chitty Bang Bang from the junkman’s fiery furnace, Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke), a somewhat crack-pot, absent-minded inventor, gets the broken-down old racing car roadworthy again and sets off for a day at the seaside with his two children, Jeremy (Adrian Hall) and Jennifer (Heather Ripley).
On the way they pick up Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes), the beautiful daughter of Lord Scrumptious (James Robertson-Justice), who joins the outing.
After a picnic on the beach, Potts, who is something of a daydreamer, begins to tell the youngsters a story about pirates when a tugboat appears on the horizon.
Potts immediately weaves the boat into his story. It is not a tugboat, he says, but the yacht of Baron Bomburst (Gert Frobe), the most evil man in the world who has come all the way to England from Vulgaira to steal Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
No Sooner has he spoken than they realize that the tide has come in, cutting them off from the beach, and that the Baron’s yacht is bearing down on them, canon at the ready.
It is then that they discover that Chitty is a magical car. Suddenly her engine roars into life and she becomes a hovercraft, skimming them across the waves to safety.
But Baron Bomburst is hysterically intent on having the car for himself and sends two spies ashore, who mistake the children’s eccentric Grandpa (Lionel Jeffries) for the inventor, Potts, and summon the Baron’s zeppelin to kidnap him while he is in his privy, which they believe to be his laboratory.
As soonas Potts, Truly, and the children spot the zeppelin gliding overhead trailing Grandpa and the privy beneath it on the end of a rope, they give chase. And once again Chitty comes to their aid with her magical powers. Potts drives the car so fast in pursuit that he is unable to stop when they reach the cliff edge and they plunge over the edge towards the rocks below. But suddenly Chitty sprouts over a pair of wings and a propeller, pulls neatly out of her deathdive and soars across the sky after they airship.
They follow the zeppelin to the Castle if Vulgaria and land Chitty near the local village, where they discover that Baroness Bomburst (Anna Quayle) hates children so much that she has ordered that they all be killed on sight.
The village toymaker hides Jeremy and Jennifer while he and Potts investigate the area, but on their return they learn that Vulgaria’s evil Childcatcher (Robert Helpman) has captured the youngsters and hauled them off to the castle, where Chitty, too, has been chained in captivity.
Determined to rescue the children, Grandpa and the car, Potts, Truly, and Toymaker go to a secret cave beneath the castle where all the village children who have not been caught by the Baroness live like urchins.
Potts tells them of his plan to liberate Vulgaria. First, he and Truly smuggle themselves into the castle as life-size puppets ¯ the birthday gift of the Toymaker to Baron Bomburst. Then, at a given signal, all the children burst into the castle though ventilators and pipes to join the attack. After a running battle, the Baron’s men are defeated; Jeremy, Jennifer, Grandpa and Chitty are freed and, realizing that all is lost, Bomburst and the Baroness try to make their getaway in the zeppelin.
But a prod from Grandpa’s umbrella as they fly by in Chitty punctures the airship, dumping the Baron and Baroness in the lake below.
With a dip of its wings, Chitty sets a course for home, accompanies by cheers and waves from the jubilant people of Vulgaria.
Back in the beach in England, Jeremy and Jennifer sigh with delight. It has, of course, all been one of Potts’ daydreaming tales for the youngsters. But by now he and Truly realize that they are in love and when she agrees to marry him he promises that in the future he will concentrate more on his responsibilities instead of daydreaming so much.
It is fine to have dreams, he says as they drive off. “But, just because you dream something up doesn’t mean it’ll come true.”
And with that, to everyone’s amazement, Chitty slowly rises into the sky and they fly over the hills and away…
Interesting things I've found from the movie:

Song: Doll on a Music Box/Truly Scrumptious
What do you see
You people gazing at me
You see a doll on a music box
That's wound by a key
How can you tell
I'm under a spell
I'm waiting for love's first kiss
You cannot see
How much I long to be free
Turning around on this music box
That's wound by a key
Yearning
Yearning
While
I'm turning around and around
What do you see
(Truly Scrumptious)
You people gazing at me
(you're truly truly scrumptious)
You see a doll on a music box, that's wound by a key
(scrumptious a...)
How can you tell I'm
(whe...)
Under a spell I'm
(...)
Waiting for love's first kiss
(honest truly, your the answer to my wishes)
You cannot see
(Truly Scrumptious)
How much I long to be free
(though I may seem presumptuous)
Turning around on this music box that's wound by a key
(ne..)
Yearning
(my heart beats so unruly)
Yearning
(because I love you truly)
While I'm turning around and around)
(honest, Truly I do)
Song: Chu-Chi Face
You're my little chu-chi face
My coo-chi, coo-chi, woo-chi little chu-chi face
Every time I look at you I sigh
And you're my little teddy bear
My lovey lovey dovey little teddy bear
You're the apfel strudel of mine eye
Your chu-chi woo-chi nose
Your chu-chi woo-chi eyes
They set my heart a flutter
Your ooo-chi coo-chi ways
Your ooo-chi coo-chi gaze
Wilts me down like meltings butter
You're my little chu-chi face
And you're my teddy bear
Together we're a chu-chi woo-chi, ooo-chi coo-chi pair
Whatever you may ask becomes my happy task
I only live to serve you
I never will divine what magic made you mine
I only know I don't deserve you
You're my little chu-chi face
And you're my teddy bear
Together we're a chu-chi woo-chi, ooo-chi coo-chi
Chu-chi, Woo-chi, Ooo-chi, Coo-chi pair
Chu-chi
Woo-chi
Ooo-chi
Coo-chi pair
Song: Toot Sweets
Caractacus:
Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker
And don't try a toffee or cream
If you seek perfection in sugar confection
Well there's something new on the scene
A mouth full of cheer
A sweet without peer
A musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The candies you whistle, the whistles you eat.
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The eatable, tweetable treats!
Truly:
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The toot of a flute with the flavor of fruit!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
No longer need candy be mute!
Caractacus:
Don't waste your pucker on some all day sucker
Truly:
and don't try a toffee or cream!
If you seek perfection in sugar confection,
Caractacus:
well, there's something new on the scene:
Truly:
that mouth full of cheer;
Caractacus:
that sweet without peer;
Both:
That musical morsel supreme!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
A bon-bon to blow on at last has been found
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets,
with tweetable, eatable sound!
Scrumptious:
No--take it away!
Truly:
Father, please! (he takes one)
Toot! Hmm-Hmm. Toot! Laughter from Truly and her father. (He takes a bite)
Caractacus:
He likes it!
Cast:
Hooray!
Caractacus:
Their value is intrinsic,
Truly:
surpass any mint stick
Kids:
Or marshmallow mouthful you munch
Caractacus:
Though licorice is chewy
Truly:
And gum drops are gooey
Kids:
And chocolate is charming to crunch
Caractacus and Truly:
That savory fife,
Women:
that sweet of your life
Kids and factory workers:
It's clearly the best of the bunch.
(Dance break)
All:
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
Caractacus:

Toot Sweets!
Toot Sweets!
The treat that's so tweetable,
lusciously eatable,
with that unbeatable--(break) sound!
Song: You Two
Caractacus:
To me the answer's clear;
it's having someone near; someone dear
Someone to care for; to be there for.
I have You Two!
Someone to do for; muddle through for.
I have You Two!
Someone to share joy or despair with;
whichever betides you.
Life becomes a chore, unless you're living for
someone to tend to be a friend to.
I have You Two!
Someone to strive for, do or die for
I have You Two!
Could be, we three get along so famously,
'cause you two have me, and I have You Two too.
(Breakfast is behind made, then Caractacus sneezes)
Kids:
Someone to care for; to be there for.
Caractacus:
I have You Two!
Kids:
Someone to do for; muddle through for
Caractacus:
I have You Two!
Someone to smile once in awhile with;
whenever you're lonesome
I've a happy lot,
considering what I've got.
But, I couldn't do more
Than you do for your poor Father.
(Kids: Daddy!)
Things go asunder
and I wonder why you bother.
All:
Could be, we three get along so famously
'cause
Kids:
we two have you,
Caractacus:
and I have You Two
All:
too
Jeremy:
What a funny noise it's making!
Caractacus:
